We were supposed to do a retune on this car, but the car is not right to put on my dyno.I would also recommend Elite, not sure of their prices compared to a small workshop, but they know these cars and the problems that arise from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is happy with Deon so far so will remain going there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In QLD you have plenty of tuners to chose from, but hear Elite are very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
